Merged 1 post from Super laggy scrolling.

    I am not able to reproduce, scrolling appears smooth to me. Are you using any extensions that might affect it?

      Vlad No, just built-in trackpad. By the way, I partially fixed this problem with the SmoothScroll extension.

      Are you using any extensions that might affect it?
      Only uBlock Origin.

          Lets check in the new version that comes out today

            Merged 8 posts from Scrolling is not as smooth as in other browsers.

              Vlad Just update to the newer version and the stutter/lag is still pesent and still not smooth as it should be.
              Even using this site is laggy at time especially as I am writting this and start scrolling the page it stutters and scrolling isn't smooth.

                  taranbeer I am not able to reproduce. Scrolling appears to be the same as in Safari (when using Apple mouse)

                      Vlad I am posting the videos comparing the lastest Orion Build to Safari and FireFox. If you watch them in 60fps you can see that Orion lags much more than Safari and Firefox.

                      Even after the latest safari update to 16.0 it still lags behind Firefox in terms of butter Smooth scrolling.

                          Vlad Just watch it on the hightest resolution on youtube at 1440p60 and you will see the stutter very prominently.

                              taranbeer Ok I am checking Orion vs Safari and it looks exactly the same to me. What am I missing?

                                  Vlad In that video at 0:12 and 0:59 you can see as I scroll up on Orion there are stutters and it isn't a smooth movement of the page.
                                  Are you trying on M1 Air Mac?

                                      taranbeer Thanks for pointing that out. It is not clear that the stutter originates from Orion and could be a system-related hick-up that occured at that moment.

                                      I tried to reproduce that but both browsers behave the same.

                                          Vlad Yeah this is what I was pointing out and I to was coming to a conclusion that it could be a MacOS or M1 issue rather than the browser.
                                          But I am not able to understand how Firfox is able to mitigate this, whereas webkit and chromiuim based browsers are basically affect by it the most.

                                              Vlad Yes Safari does that too but not as bad as Orion, which should be inline with safari regarding the stutter/lags as it is based on webkit. Whereas Safari felt a lot smoother than Orion when scrolling.

                                              And the video you showed, there are hiccups when scrolling on both safari and Orion but they are very close now.

                                              My main concern is that it shouldn't happen altogether. It only ruins the experience of a really amazing browser that I really want to use but these stutter and lags just ruin it.

                                                  AyushPandey Can you do better than that (for example steps to reproduce and video(s) to show the difference?
